New bands line up for Vortex triple bill

Minghe Morte, World Sanguine Report and Bilbao Syndrome will play a one off gig at the Vortex next week on 15 December. Comprising ten musicians from the London and Leeds jazz scene, the three bands will take to the stage to display their individual and diverse styles. Minghe Morte will be making their London debut with their blend of garage-house, speed-punk and death-jazz. The music of drummer Chris Bussey, reeds player Christophe de Bezenac and guitarist Colin Sutton has been described in these very pages as, “gore-spattered car-crash jazz.” World Sanguine Report form a frightening and formidable ensemble who take influence from Messiaen, Waits and Patton to name a few. Consisting of James Allsopp (reeds), Alex Bonney (trumpet), Matthew Bourne (keys), Tom Greenhalgh (drums), Dave Kane (bass), Andrew Plummer (vocals) and Chris Sharkey (guitar) their performance promises to blur the lines between jazz, blues and punk. The enigmatic Bilbao Syndrome headline the evening. Consisting of members from two bands mentioned above (Bourne, Bussey, Plummer, Sharkey and Sutton) – expect the unexpected.
